It depends on how you define a 'page'. Generally speaking, a frame is another DOM. When you look at the DOM you will see that the <iframe> tag actually contains <html> ... </html>. Since tools like Selenium need to switch to the frame to be able to interact with it, it makes sense to treat it as a separate 'page'. When you instantiate the 'page' you need a method for how you 'switch' to the page. For actually different pages you use the driver.get() to switch to the page. For frames you use driver.get() to switch to the parent page then use switchTo() method to switch to the frame.
